Was wondering if anyone had a good source on Chernoff Bounds? Looking for something that is easy to follow and has good step by step instructions and/or a good example.

Thanks,
space

Have you tried Google? The first entry is to Wikipedia, which may be what you want.
 
I looked at wikipedia, other books, but for some reason it isn't making any sense. lol. I'm tyring to find something that I can use to help me with a problem I have that includes plotting which is why I'm looking for something on the sense of an example problem in hopes I can back track and follow it that way.
